Portfolio to Professional
Create your e-portfolio through a course for Stanford PhDs
Creating your digital presence through an e-Portfolio!
The Portfolio to Professional (P2P) course is designed to guide and support PhD students from all disciplines in creating a digital portfolio that uses multimedia evidence to communicate the story of your professional pathway and career goals.
The 10-week course will include a combination of face-to-face meetings and online activities. The course will be divided between topic sessions with weekly assignments focused on helping you design and build your ePortfolio, and feedback sessions involving portfolio reviews with alumni, employers, and faculty. Enrollment will be limited to 15 students. One unit of credit and auditing options are available. Weekly meetings are tentatively scheduled for Tuesdays from 12-1 p.m.
